Intel Server Board SE7501CW2 Installation and Integration Guide
Software Installation
Updating the BIOS
Intel highly recommends that you go to the Intel Server Board SE7501CW2 support Web site and download and install the latest system BIOS update for your operating system. The Intel Server Board SE7501CW2 support Web site is: http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/SE7501CW2/index.htm. You’ll find the latest BIOS at the Software and Drivers link.
The BIOS update simplifies the BIOS update process by providing all of the necessary files in one download designed to fit on one floppy disk. This package is most efficient when used in conjunction with the System Resource CD that ships with the Intel Server Board SE7501CW2. See the readme file and release notes for complete installation instructions.
Installing the Operating System
Consult your chosen operating system’s documentation for information on setting up the operating system for your server. That documentation takes up where this guide leaves off, and steps you through setting up your server’s operating system. Be sure to install the System Update Package first, then format the boot drive with an appropriate Intel Server Management drive partition, and then install the OS. When you are finished installing the server OS, install Intel Server Management and the Intel Server Maintenance and Reference Training Tool CD (Intel SMaRT Tool).
